My Experience in Programming

In avaluating any land script or prog
I look at blk statement
How to print out for debugging purpose
I use only Textpad not IDE fot all lang
How to deal with Array
and how to use function in passing aray arg and returm array
So Python is certainly not of my choiceper its lack of blk statement
Both Java script and Java return Array very easy
Matlab alsoreturn multi var quite easy
just like function [u, v ]=abc( x, y, z)
and tab ident like make file hard to trace blk code cover by some control statement like for, while  if else elseif switch . . .

First thing comes first
I start programing in Fortran with pencil & paper in 1974
and found it's very comfort per my Math back ground
I don't like Python using tab indent like make file hard to follow blk of statement
So I like all script lang :Perl Bash JavaScript MLbut Python I like perl most even at a price to pu $ in front of all var but any way I don't ming using $ especially in helping the poor
All info herein canbe easily found by googling butthe following 1 cases  likely happnen
1) Adveritise with Malware
2) Most are unnecessirily too complicated toshow off the author can do thing quite complicated for scaring purpose While I truely believe

the simplest is the best the hardest to achieve

That's why I have this presentation
Would U plz kindly to email me any err in this content and recommend me the simpler implement

My MatLab Prog


Actually Iused free open Octave[OT] rather ML as ML cost few thousand USD to use while Octave is fully MLcompatible
ML creator MathWorks refused to make ML for Linux
So Linux guy created Octave to respond and we have MLfully compat Octave first created for Linux but eventually expanded to Wndw
Both were based on Linear package for matrix ops and on Javs for graphic plot
Both require JRE (Java Run Engine)) to run
ML is script language run by interpreter, not prog lang run by
Between 2 consecutive session old varvaluesare reused so it wise to put
clear on the top to ensure nosuch thing occur
ML use % for comment while OT use  #
Bck comment
%{
%}
#{
#}
ML does not require semi colon at end of statement
But semicolons used to supress value printed out
So it's easy to check var values either not put semicolon at the end of statement
Ot just put var name
xyz=12345 # 12345 not printed out
. . .

xyz # 42345 printed out


Plot

clear
x= 0:0.01: 2*pi;

y_s =  sin(x);
y_c = cos (x );
plot(x, y_s, 'r*', x, y_c, 'b*'), grid; # grid for grid
title('Sin Cos') #title must be below plot ie naming after plotting
# set plot propeties like
set(gca, 'linewidth', 4, 'fontsize', 22, 'fontweight', 'bold' )
# legend just put all plot in order, it auto to display properly in order
  h = legend ('sin', 'cos','location', 'NorthEastOutside'); #Follow order in plot
#
NorthEastInside is default location , i.e if not using 'location' at all
 set (h, 'fontsize', 20, 'fontweight', 'bold');

My C Programming


Why do I have to use more than 1 file
Just bcz I have to use printf a lot to readback for verification
and I use additional C file namely _VV.c compose of printf for all kind of types like string, char, str, double, namely str_vv(), int_vv(), dble_vv
This very file used in all my main C app
So I have 2 at minimum and occasionally 2 more for FileIO and Time called _FF.v and _TT.c
Likely I have at least 1 _VV.c and 2 additional _FF.c _TT.c
I started as a HW guy but trained myself SW to move on my responsible HW indecently rather waiting for SW availability
To me tomorrow is too late waiting for good or bad equally both uncomfortable
It turned out I could do SW better than SW guys
The secrete is adding HW stuff into HW is a serious action not like adding SW stuff
Per that culture my SW code is lean  only, of no fat so very neat and compact
In addition I have strong logical thinking built over years with math in high school and college where the simplest is the best and hardest to achieve
Messy math solution is absolutely not allowed at all Similarly messy code, aka Spaghetti code is absolutely not allowed
At one time I came across a story to train HW for SW job due to the shortage of SW suys At the end newly trained SW guys outperformed original SW guy
In additional a setup/hold time specs must be met for a proper  a read/write ops

In 12 years working at Symmetricom I wear both GW/SW hat(embedded Linux)




Make file should be used for muliple files
But it's so hard to use so I do my own way using #include
In the file inlude  __VV01.v Note _ in front for inc file
ifndef MAIN_VV // included only once

#define MAIN_VV main // main_vv if not used this varies per diff file
int MAIN_VV()
{
. . .
return 0;
}
#endif
In the main file XXX.c to ibclude  __VV01.v all inc file start with _ using #include as usual with H file
#include "fullpathto/_VV01.v" as  as usual with H file
.
.
.
int main()
{
.
.
.
}

 
In  decades since 2000
I have used cygwin with bash in place of junk DOS BAT
It come with GCC and perl
All C/Perl/Bash  in this notes using GCC from Cygwin32 running on my Win7-64b As Cygwin 64 is worse than Cygwin32 just copied ober from Win7-32 used in decade ago
This Cygwin32 can be gotten upon request as a ziped file just unziped and can be probably used on Win 10 just simply add cygwin/bin to the env Path

Brief on some popular programming Language

Compile Language"C[Functional] C# Java[Objected Oriented]

C is simple but powerful used in Linux kerl with million code line
Its simplicity help programmer focus on the main task not distracted by language complexity like C++/ Java
Java and C# look similar where
public static void main
All static vars must be used in main
Otherwise a constructor must be used Iprefer simple approach using static
Recently I worked on C drug monitor using time intensively
C Time is very confusing with overwhelming info like time() ascii time  time struct time
I just use number of seconds from time(0) aith struct time on local time to get DateTime
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
  time_t tt= time(0);
struct tm tm = *localtime(&tt);
sprintf(STR, "%d/%02d/%02d @ %02d|%02d|%02d\n", tm.tm_year + 1900, tm.tm_mon + 1, tm.tm_mday, tm.tm_hour, tm.tm_min, tm.tm_sec);


Elapsed Time [ET]


Getting done is only half of a success , theother half is how long
That's why I payvery serious to EP in all languages C/Java/C#
Perl/Python/Bash


Perl ET

 use Time::HiRes qw(usleep gettimeofday tv_interval);
$t0 = [gettimeofday];
sleep(1);
$elapsed = 1000*tv_interval($t0);
print"$elapsed mSec\n";

Bash ET

mS0=$(date +%s%N | cut -b1-13)
sleep 0.1
mS=$(date +%s%N | cut -b1-13)
(( et=mS - mS0 ))
echo "$et mSec"

Bash ET Sec even simpler just simply using $SECONDS

start=$SECONDS
sleep 1 # put some real task here instead of sleeping

duration=$(( SECONDS - start ))
echo "DURATION[$duration]"

Script Language: Perl JavaScript MatLab



1974 I started programming with pencil& paper in Fortran at Tek Uni now known as https://hcmut.edu.vn/t

My 2nd language was Pascal in 1991 at UTS AUSTR
I love Math and it enhance my programming greatly and quikly
Over years
I learn C C++ C# Java Java Script Perl Python MatLab
To me the simplest is the best per my math bck grnd where simplification is a must
In Calculus Integration is very challenging especially in Trigonometry
And Simplification of Trigonotric Expression make the job quite easy and quite elegant
 
C appears to me as the best language per its simplicity and popular, but powerful
Is simplicity help me focus on the task not distracted by the code complexity
I have used C since 1994 mainly fin embeded SW
Recently I used C in desk top App to  build my daily use like drug monitor  mainly using text processing
I discover new feature in C as SW App like C reating a nonvolatile Array on HDD with offset of async binary FileIO as array index
I doubt if any serious SW guy see the diff between SW App and SW Embedded mainly for acessing  HW  Device
To copy File Rd/Wr File of a text File HTML of 1.55MB

Brief on Text processing by some prog lang

Switch statement does simply a lot to replace multi is else

Unfortunately Swich support only simple type like number not string
Java does support string switch nut not C
So for a remedy in C I use first char str[0]in str for str switch in C
I simplifies my C code in string a lot


T_P_rgx.htm1.55 MB (1,626,159 bytes)
C cpy File in   [25]mSec using 1024 buf 2048 buf in 16msec but bigger buf no impact
Perl File T_P_rgx.htm(59800)--> P01_T_P_rgx.html 5.704 mSec
BASH copy FileT_P_rgx.htm-->B_T_P_rgx.htm = 31 mS
 Java |./T_P_rgx.htm|(59801)-->|./J01_T_P_rgx02.htm| in <172> millisec
I attempted using C save text file as bin file but the speed not much improve
vs txt only just a bit quicker but not enought to makeup for the complexity in dealing with binary vs text
There're 2 ways in C FileIO for txt
For Red/Wr HTML file of 1.5M

193 mSec with 2 char

single char

char c;

	while(c=fgetc(F_RD)!=EOF)
{
fputc(c, F_WR);
}

or

multiple char

#define MAX 0x1000

char tmp[MAX]
;

	while(fgets(tmp, MAX, F_RD))
{
// strcat(STR, tmp);

fputs(tmp, F_WR);
}
}

Perl is the fastest in only 6  mSec even faster than BASH Cygwin OS
Java is the slowest
The reason is Perl allows both Read/Write using Array only once read 1 write
$in_f = "${bf}.txt"; #  pd21-2 
$out_f = "_${bf}_01b.htm";
open(O_F, ">$out_f") ||
print"<ERR>>to make  $out_f \n";

open(IN_F, $in_f) ||
print"<ERR>>to GET  $in_f \n";

@AA00=<IN_F>;
print O_F $ss_htm; #string =array of char
close(O_F);

Time in C

Time in seconds should be be usedTo monitor drug taking
#include <time.h>
Struct tm is used to get DateTime from seconds
struct tm{
int tm_sec;
int tm_min;
int tm_hour;
int tm_mday;
int tm_mon;
int tm_year;
int tm_wday;
int tm_yday;
int tm_isdst;
};
It's simple to use second as time stamp
int tt=time(0);// save as drug taking
int diff= ime(0)-tt;
dd=sec/3600/24;//d
hr=sec/3600; // hr
sec-= hr*3600; //sec
mi=sec/60; //mi
Hr_Mi_Se[2]=se=sec-mi*60;
In reading text file to get time
<<NP>> 1691122058}
char *ret=strchr(str, ' ');
int tt=atoi(ret);
int dif = time(0)-tt;==> Dy Hr Mi Se


From TT ==>yyyy/mm/dd via struct tm
har * _ss_DT(time_t tt)
{
struct tm *TT = localtime(&tt);
TT->tm_year+=1900;
TT->tm_mon+=1;

char * str=(char *)malloc(55);
//void ST_VV(char *mm, struct tm *TT)
sprintf(str, "%d/%d/%d @ %d|%d|%d", TT->tm_year, TT->tm_mon, TT->tm_mday,
TT->tm_hour, TT->tm_min, TT->tm_sec);
return str;
}



Brief on Math processing by some Prg Lang

I I created aMath processing  benmarch to copute PI values using a huge number of Taylor deries of inverse Trigonometric arctan of tan
It's been quite known
tan( Pi/4)=1 ==>Pi=4*Atan(1)
cos(-1)=Pi
But as seen below Acos has factorial result in huge number at large number so cannot be used
I used 2 billion terms of Atan using both double of 8 bytes size and float of 4 bytes size  number in C C++ C# Java and Perl

But Java report 21/17 anormally  with more digits for float !! in 30sec
C# 8/16Perl in 980sec
Surprisingly Java is fastest per info from my SW partner with Java day 1 His 1st lang was Fortsns like mine in early 1960s with punchcard on main frame at at NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. as s an  co-op student from  VA Tech.

Java Script JS

It's quite easy return Ary from  JS function just return using [ . . .]
function getArr()
{
return [u, vm x, y, z];
}
JavaScript run by Web Browser Chrome or FireFox either internal inside HTM or external via link
It is inter preted language with no type declared for variable
All variables are either char string or number in double
Its style very similar to C
All statements must be ended with ;
Blk stement wrapped within
{
. . .
}
A function is created  like below
function getArr(x, y, z)
{
return [ q, w, e, r, t, y, u, i];
}
